... to make the magic/performance finish into a smooth finish? I would think they could just not put the dimples into the card and just put the finish on making it a smooth finish, or is there WAY more to it then that?

As in it is going to be on the vortex, or it is in the making.

As in it's going to be something I toy with for future decks. The Vortex is Magic Finish with dimpling, that's not changing.

Doesn't that BOM deck have something very similar to that?

Yes its possible, But if you take away the embossing "Air Cushion", the cards will feel cheap and not have the slippery slide. No embossing = more friction = less slide

Unless there is a coating that would produce a lower coefficient of friction than the one currently being used, then it could conceivably create the same amount of friction as the "Air Cushion". I know its probably unlikely, but just trying to think of different ideas.

This would be interesting if it could be done. But would people be able to get over the dramatic feel difference?

I want to experiment with the USPCC smooth finish options because of how amazing smooth finish decks are for cuts.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this.

that is exactly why i asked this question. i love the Michel Herp style of cardistry with lots of cuts and very few fans, and sometimes the performance finish can be to slick.

Any dimpling is definitely too slick, although right now I'm handling the Prototype decks with no finish and only air cushioning and although the fans are slightly clumpy, I've never handled a better deck for cuts.

who needs thumb or finger fans when you can pressure fan the cards. looks good and is way more fun to do.

Lance is also planning on some huge steps into the future with regards to stock and finish. This is good to read that we are moving forward as opposed to staying with what we know and are comfortable with.

Try pressure fanning prototype stock and get back to me, darn things are as stiff as steel.

You're not kidding there. I have tried handling a proto deck...it didn't go well and I just ended up getting frustrated.

I doubt Brandon has the Vortex prototype deck.
